Overview

BOND - JAMES BOND. He's a global literary and entertainment phenomenon. But few know there is a hidden, esoteric side to Bond and his creator, Ian Fleming - and all those secrets are revealed here. Using the celestial language of astrology, RA RISHIKAVI RAGHUDAS charts Bond's course from Fleming's interest in metaphysics and his life as a British intelligence agent, to the creation of the Bond novels and then through the entire Bond movie franchise. We learn about the origin of 007's codename, how Fleming may have tricked the Nazis using astrology, why James Bond is the ultimate Scorpio archetype, and why he's a hero who remains relevant even as times change. We even find that the charts of all the actors who have played Bond are cosmically tied together! THE ASTROLOGY OF BOND - JAMES BOND is a treasure house of insight and delight for Bond fans everywhere. Written with style, wit and clarity, it's suitable even for those with little or no astrological knowledge. It's the definitive astro-guide to 007!

Reviews

I fell in love with this book, like with Bond (like with Ra's writing), at first sight. Ra charms and informs us with his prose and knowledge of the entire history of the Bond series, revealing in perfect doses of darkness and light, like Bond himself, the glittering cosmic story of 007. It's like being on a personal Hollywood tour with Ra through the life of Bond from book to film! This is a beautifully designed, classy, classic book, perfect for celebrating all things Bond. Silkily spun with fantastic illustrations and iconic imagery, with juicy tidbits and background facts that only Ra could have uncovered for us, plus hundreds of rare photos and graphics, witty character revelations and spot-on cultural parallels, this book is an informative, illuminating, and meticulously researched treasure house with charts galore - a spectacular guide to all of Bond's adventures and the actors who have portrayed the world's most famous spy. - Ronnie Grishman
